Danish agriculture faces numerous challenges
Productivity
• Biomass for food, feed, material and energy
• Stagnating yields
• Large import of protein feed
Environment
• High nutrient leaching (Nitrate and Water Framework Directives)
• High pesticide use
• Agriculture must contribute to EU climate goals (EU climate policy)
Time to look for radical innovation instead of just incremental

It seems hard to increase yields (sustainably) in
existing crops in Europe

So, what to do with all that grass?

Policy analysis EPA: can increased biomass production
around Limfjorden fulfil the Water Framework Directive?
A reduction of 976 T N annually
has been postponed till after 2021
Current measures seem not able to
fulfil this reduction, and set aside may
be necessary
![Page 12: Senior Scientist Uffe Jørgensen, Department of Agroecology ... · UFFE JØRGENSEN 29 MAJ 2018 SENIORFORSKER INSTITUT FOR AGROØKOLOGI AARHUS UNIVERSITET Demo-plant for green biorefinery](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022041214/5e033d27d9e2ea2f204267b4/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Scenarios analysed
1. Business as usual (large proportion of annual crops)
2. Biomass optimised Scenario (conversion into pure grass, highly
fertilised)
3. Organic Scenario (conversion into grass clover, low fertiliser level)
4. Bioenergy Scenario (conversion into energy willow, low fertiliser level)
Data from national registers (CHR, GLR, soil map, fertilisation etc.)
were used to model nitrate leaching from each field
All scenarios were modelled with and without including the effect of
soil retention (nitrate reduction in deep soil layers)
The grass production was converted in biorefineries into a protein
concentrate, a fibre fraction for cattle feed, and a brown juice for
biogas.
Willow was used for local heating plants

Conclusions on grass production to secure
farming licence in nitrate-sensitive areas
• Grass can approx. double productivity and halve nitrate
leaching per ha compared to cereals
• Extract the high protein content in grass & legumes and feed
the fibre to dairy cattle
• Fibre fraction may be in excess if local cattle production is
limited; can then be used for biogas, fermentation, or…..
• Feeding trials on mono- and poly-gastric animals are
promising
• Positive business case for organic production
• May be a cheaper way to fulfill the WFD than other
measures
